southport has now been publicly named. he is axel muganwa rudakubana and there was huge speculation about keeping his anonymity because of his age. there has been misinformation spread online and wrong identities were spread online. various misinformation were spread that was condemned by the police and also by politicians. we do now know that he has been named as axel muganwa rudakubana. he appeared at liverpool magistrates' court earlier this morning. he was remanded in youth detention and is set to appear later today at liverpool crown court. we will bring you more on this as and when we get it. axel muganwa rudakubana has been named as the 17—year—old man who has been charged with three counts of murder and ten counts of attempted murder. more on

uk. only two of his killers have been brought to justice. uk. only two of his killers have been brought tojustice. earlier in 1993 baroness doreen lawrence and dr neville lawrence, as they are now known, made the decision to take stephen backjamaica and that he would be buried there because they didn't feel at peace in the uk, given what had happened here and given what had happened here and given all of the failings by the police and over here in terms of dealing with his murder. what has happened now is that the family has announced this morning that the family had made the decision to bring stephen back to the uk to exude his body and bring him back to the uk so he could be closer to his family here, and that they had hoped this would be a private thing, that this would be a private thing, that this would be something they did as a family. this wasn't a public thing they were going to talk about or announce. but following stephen's body being exhumed injamaica someone has posted online images of the grave, images that doreen has
12:35 pm
found upsetting and is clearly very distressed this has happened. because it has become public in this way she has had to issue a statement today, saying they have made the decision, saying they had hoped this would be a private thing, but they have now had to announce it because they are very upset because someone has posted it online. she is saying she hopes those images will not be shared any further and that they will be taken down from social media. i should stress from the statement that this is clearly a decision by the family to bring stephen back to the uk. it is something they have decided as a family. there is no indication it is anything to do with the police investigation. the police investigation. the police investigation itself is currently dormant. it was stopped by the metropolitan police in 2020, four years ago. although there is going to be a review into possible lines of inquiry that haven't been looked at this decision today is nothing to do with that. at this decision today is nothing to do with that-—

12:37 pm
economy will ultimately determine the future path of consumer price inflation. given the time it takes to have its full effect we need to be forward—looking in determining how restrictive monetary policy should be to return inflation sustainably to the 2% target. a further factor in the assessment is the recent strength in economic activity. gdp growth has been noticeably stronger than expected over the first half of this year following a period of weakness in the second half of last year. the committee sees it as most likely that underlying momentum has remained more steady and that the balance between demand and supply remain stable. this judgment is supported by various indicators which suggest that capacity utilisation have been moved by much less than the gdp numbers. the job of monetary policy is to squeeze the persistent element of inflation out of the system in a way that is
12:38 pm
consistent with returning inflation to targets on a timely and sustained basis. that is what we did by increasing the bank rate to five point 25% and keeping it at that level for a year. that has leaned heavily against second round effects from global inflationary shocks on domestic inflationary persistence. we still face the question... inaudible and what it will take to make that happen. is and what it will take to make that ha en. , , , , . and what it will take to make that hauen. , , ,, . ., happen. is the persistence now almost baked _ happen. is the persistence now almost baked in _ happen. is the persistence now almost baked in as _ happen. is the persistence now almost baked in as the - happen. is the persistence now almost baked in as the forces l happen. is the persistence now- almost baked in as the forces which drove up inflation unwind, or will it also require a period with economic slackening in the uk or are we experiencing a more permanent change to wage and price setting which would require monetary policy to remain tight for longer? a couple
12:39 pm
of important questions in the deliberations. as policymakers we can have all three cases and our expectations with different weights attached the nose weight can change over time. the committee's click to vote is consistent with a relatively benign view of inflation persistence and what it takes from here to squeeze it out of the system and return inflation sustainably to target. as chart four shows, in this most likely projection, a bank rate that declines 35%. consumer price inflation. one point 7% and 1.5% in three years. in this projection second round domestic price on wages takes longer to unwind and they did to emerge, leading to some persistence in inflationary
12:40 pm
pressures. against that margin of economic slack gradually builds over the forecast horizon, despite the recent pick—up in economic growth. as such the most likely projection encompasses the first two, relatively benign cases i have just described. so the modal projection reflects the committee's collective judgment that we are making good progress in returning inflation to the 2% target sustainably. the progress has become clearly visible in measures of both inflation perceptions and inflation expectations. these are important determinants of consumer price inflation, given the role they play inflation, given the role they play in wage and price setting in the economy. we should expect that perceptions of current inflation and expectations of future inflation will play into wage bargaining and price setting. chart five gives a snapshot based on the bank's inflation attitude survey of uk household and its decision—maker panel survey of decision—makers.
12:41 pm
short—term household inflation expectations, and purple on the left—hand panel, have continued to fall, alongside the observed decline in consumer price inflation. medium—term expectations in orange remain stable. how so perceptions of the current rate of inflation remain elevated. that is the blue line. they have fallen sharply and tend to react to headline inflation with a lag. similarly firms current inflation perceptions, and inflation expectations over the short and medium term, have also fallen significantly. that is the right hand panel. all of this points to a continuing normalisation of wage and price setting dynamics but the fall in headline inflation will feed through to headline expectations until a week wage pay and price setting dynamics. even if wejudge that second round effects will take longer to unwind than they did to emerge the evidence from these
12:42 pm
indicators is consistent with the view that second round effects will continue to fade with the restricted monetary policy stance that we have put in place and the emergence of a margin of slackening economy. there is, however, an alternative account of the economy which is less benign than our most likely projection. this account reflects the view that mps and members put some weight on two, albeit to different degrees, when reaching their conclusions on the appropriate degree of restrictive nurse in the monetary policy. this view is that the economy is closer to the third least benign case that i set out earlier, that inflationary pressures have become more ingrained in the uk economy as a result of structural changes in product and labour markets, as a lasting legacy of the major shocks we have experienced. one possibility that the committee has considered is that the rate of unemployment, below which inflationary pressures begin to build, may have gone up over recent years. there is also a risk that
12:43 pm
recent economic activity could be a factor... increasing inflationary pressures in the medium term. inaudible as we develop our response to recommendations we will be in a position to articulate fully such scenarios. in position to articulate fully such scenarios. position to articulate fully such scenarios-_ position to articulate fully such scenarios. , ., , , scenarios. in the report we present toda , scenarios. in the report we present today. giving _ scenarios. in the report we present today. giving some _ scenarios. in the report we present today, giving some weight, - scenarios. in the report we present today, giving some weight, is - today, giving some weight, is reflected in upside risk or skew to our inflation forecast. the main path for inflation is higher than the modal. whether we think of the possibility of less than benign development as an alternative scenario or as an upside risk, the message is the same. we need to make
12:44 pm
sure that monetary policy is significantly restricted that inflation remains near the 2% target. weighing the evidence at this meeting the monetary policy committee voted to cut by no .25 percentage points. cpi inflation has fallen markedly over the past year, back to the 2% target. the impact from past external shocks has abated and the risks of persistently high inflation have moderated. it is now appropriate to reduce the degree of restriction to ensure inflation remained sustainably around the 2% target. key indicators of inflationary pressures remain elevated and recent strength in economic activity has added to the pressures. this gives us pause for thought. monetary policy will need to remain restrictive for sufficiently long until the risks to inflation around the 2% target in
12:45 pm
the medium term have dissipated. andrew bailey, governor of the bank of england, just going through his deliberations defined the rate cut from 5.25% to 5%, the first in more than four years for the uk. the other breaking news here for is a bbc news is that the 17—year—old, who has been charged with three counts of murder and ten counts of attempted murder in southport, has now been named by liverpool crown court. the 17—year—old has been named as axel rudakubana and we are going to cross to southport and lauren moss who is in southport. what more are we learning about axel rudakubana? this what more are we learning about axel rudakubana?— rudakubana? this hearing took place at liverool rudakubana? this hearing took place at liverpool magistrates' _ rudakubana? this hearing took place at liverpool magistrates' court, - at liverpool magistrates' court, which is actually a livable city centre, a few miles away from where i am in southport, which is where the attack took place on monday. the
12:46 pm
17—year—old has appeared in court charged with three counts of murder and ten counts of attempted murder. thejudge has made the decision and ten counts of attempted murder. the judge has made the decision at court today, at liverpool crown court, to name him and lift those reporting restrictions, because legally, the media, the press, cannot name somebody who has been arrested or charged if they are under the age of 18. he is 17. but thejudge has made this decision today to lift those reporting restrictions and his name is axel rudakubana. he appeared in court earlier today just rudakubana. he appeared in court earlier todayjust a rudakubana. he appeared in court earlier today just a short time rudakubana. he appeared in court earlier todayjust a short time ago, twice, actually, at magistrates and then liverpool crown court. those reporting restrictions have been lifted, allowing the media to name him now. he has been remanded into youth custody and a pre—and trial preparation hearing will take place on friday the 25th of october. just how unprecedented is it? is it simply because of the pressure that we have seen coming from the public,
12:47 pm
and social media, and the public as well, for a 17—year—old to be named? i have seen pictures of him on social media now.— i have seen pictures of him on social media now. this does happen sometimes — social media now. this does happen sometimes in _ social media now. this does happen sometimes in court _ social media now. this does happen sometimes in court cases. - social media now. this does happen sometimes in court cases. we - social media now. this does happen sometimes in court cases. we have| sometimes in court cases. we have seen it in very high—profile court cases previously, such as the murder of brianna jarry and the murder of james bolger. those two children were named that were involved in that. this is a completely unprecedented but what it does reflect is the level of public interest that a judge would make this decision to do that, to lift the reporting restrictions and name a young person who has been charged in connection with a crime as serious as this if it is in the public interest to do so. we have seen over the last 48 hours a lot of misinformation emerging on social media which has really fired up a
12:48 pm
lot of tensions among certain groups of people. in london last night as well there were riots and the police are urging people, and the home secretary, to stop speculating on the identity of the 17—year—old he was in custody and said the police needed to do their work. they need to investigate this thoroughly, but it has caused a lot of speculation. the police also said a couple of days ago that this name was circulating online was incorrect and indeed that has proven to be true. the name circulating in connection with this were wrong. the 17—year—old has now been named as axel rudakubana. he appeared at liverpool crown kurt earlier charged with three counts of murder in relation to what happened earlier on monday. we relation to what happened earlier on monda . ~ ., monday. we will leave it there. thank you _ monday. we will leave it there. thank you very _ monday. we will leave it there. thank you very much. - monday. we will leave it there. thank you very much. if - monday. we will leave it there. thank you very much. if you're| thank you very much. if you're just joining us here on bbc news a reminder that the 17—year—old who
12:49 pm
has been charged with the murder of three girls, and the attempted murder of ten others in southport on monday, has had the ban lifted on identifying him. thejudge at liverpool crown court has now named him publicly as axel rudakubana. he has appeared at the magistrates' court, liverpool magistrates' court this morning. he has also appeared at liverpool crown court a short time ago and he remains in youth detention. more on this as and when we get it. let's return to andrew bailey. he is facing questions after dinners with other cutting interest rates. we are cominu other cutting interest rates. we are coming out — other cutting interest rates. we are coming out of _ other cutting interest rates. we are coming out of that _ other cutting interest rates. we are coming out of that now. _ other cutting interest rates. we are coming out of that now. as - other cutting interest rates. we are coming out of that now. as you - other cutting interest rates. we are coming out of that now. as you can| coming out of that now. as you can see from our forecast for gdp we have growth picking up. it is a little bit inconsistent but we have taken a measured view, i would say,
12:50 pm
of the latest news, in terms of how it feeds through. we are still below potential and we do have a small gap opening up in the forecast. that is one way of capturing the fact that there is still a restrictive setting in that sense. we think that is appropriate, and i have to make this point again, we are having to ensure that the persistence of inflation is taken out of the system. that is the way we look at it and we have talked about our style quite a lot in the neutral rate in these press conferences in the past. we have never been of the view that we provide a quantitative number on what that is. but i think as you know from things we have published in the past i think policy is above a neutral rate at this point and we would see it gradually come down as this degree of inflation persistence comes out. there is a way to go still and it is consistent with the
12:51 pm

12:53 pm
seeing largely self correction of these big global shocks and that that will feed through to taking the persistence out. if you put all on that slot you would say that is a pretty relevant news story. the intermediate case i set out was... actually you would take that but you also need something of an output gap to open up. you can see that we have got an element of that in what we publish today and then the third one is rather different in a sense, but not inconsistent. you can have all three. at a third one is saying, we have been through these huge shocks and has this cause strictures on the
